Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the Spurs stroll providing a healthy set of early returns, we now roll on with a collection of five afternoon kick-offs.

Harry Kane’s double figure return puts the onus on Romelu Lukaku to match or even better his Golden Boot rival.

The Everton striker will face a Burnley today, having scored in seven successive Goodison Park matches. He’s backed by 892,000+ (20.2%) with the captaincy – the top pick in Gameweek 33 – including 60 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Elsewhere, the Fantasy interest is somewhat limited, although Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park meeting with Leicester City offers us another opportunity to scout their assets ahead of the Gameweek 34 double. Wilfried Zaha is perhaps the key target on show – he’s been brought in by 188,000 ahead of today’s clash, second only to Kane.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has another chance to halt his alarming decline when Swansea City travel to Watford. Surely a must-win clash for the Swans, Sigurdsson will be seeking his first return for four Gameweeks having lost 121,000+ owners this week, only Chelsea’s Diego Costa has suffered greater sales.

Finally, Stoke City take on Hull City at the bet365 stadium in a fixture which is unlikely to impact our tallies, while Sunderland host West Ham at the Stadium of Light, with Jermain Defoe seeking to re-ignite his goalscoring form and Andy Carroll back to lead the line for the Hammers.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    As a Kane captainer and Lukaku owner, the fear is so real...

    1. Kanga roo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      grow a pair

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Why? I Captained Kane and I still hope Lukaku does well. I don't get it.

      1. thisisdiz
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. rivercityransom

        7 years, 2 months ago

        because lukaku will actively hurt your rank whenever he does something

    3. Fowler23
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Please I'd rather captain Kane than Kaku now

      Even a hat trick means you are only down 5 points.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So you'd rather have 5 points less?

    4. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Goal, assist and max baps for Kaku would be perfect

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

  3. Jafooli

    Fernandez hatty would be very welcome. Chances?

      Dear Baby Jesus,

      Please let Leighton Baines score a penalty today to go with his clean sheet before I sell him.

        Bloody Heaton. He could get a clean sheet in a bukkake session. Git.

      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kane, lukaku, benteke

      Whom to ship to get ibra in?

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Luka

    14. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Torn between Tekkers and Zaha.... Who is best for the DGW?

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I got Zaha over Benteke for this week but let's see what we think in a few hours' time.

      2. Fowler23
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Zaha

      3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Fair shout. Don't want both, hard to ship for the next DGWs

    15. F4L

      Anyone here not own Lukaku?

        2. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Why?

          1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I got Costa in as a differential to my mini league rival. I pretty much broke even with him, then opted for Kane this week. I captained, he didn't and took a -8. If Luka hauls, hats off to him, if he doesn't, my overall gamble paid off. I'm 30 PTS clear of him

      2. A.J.
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I'll own up

        1. Ridcully

          I jumped on the Volkswagen and bought Up as well.
